I'm not sure? I can send you a few I have, but they may not work either? PM coming your way

Does anyone know what "Problem allocating BIOS Buffer" exactly means?

Whats the problem?


I found nothing with google.

Yes, that's related to having the files not on the main hard drive, or on a USB Stick etc. That's why I mentioned for you to put everything on the desktop in a folder.

Bios Recovery Procedure:
Format USB as Super Floppy Drive using RUFUS (only way to get usb to read without issue post halt and parity error)
Copy YOURBIOS.ROM to root of usb and make 6 copies of the file then copy the 6 and paste so you have a total of 12 bios files(this is because i didnt want to bother with searching hex for the proper name)( i believe it is SUPER.ROM extra files for insurance)
name bios as follows SUPER.ROM,Super.ROM,super.rom,AMIBOOT.ROM,amiboot.rom
SUPER.BIN,Super.BIN,super.BIN,AMIBOOT.BIN,amiboot.BIN
This method works with blind flash meaning you have no output to screen but will issue beep codes to show programming eeprom when usb goes solid red and system is silent it is done and you can reboot. this method can also be used to update the bios quickly incase of failures for instance using this method i recovered my pc which was caught in bios boot loop where leds would flash and restart over and over again. I discovered this method when i plugged in a live linux usb to dead board realized that the Super Floppy Drive format option gave similair results with blank drive so i tried and it worked yay dont have to wait for stinking programmers lol! Also i have gotten tdp limit to show up in processor and overclocking menu but cant seem to get the XE menu to become visible in the bios im assuming its a register value locking it out will look into schematics of individual chips PLL pin mod should allow for overclocking with set fsb and ICS9DB803DGLF type from a russian forum i was reading you apply tme unlock mod by tieing the PCI2 output pin to ground via pull up resistor (this requires alot of skill pll is like micro soldered pins need good phone camera or etc) Also these boards require hella good cooling the passive heatsinks with an overvolted fan strapped to it kind of cooling i am using good thermal paste as well and had to ramp fan to 19v with external power supply jank but effective. Stock cooler was going well over 80c at full load probably why the overclocking features never added you almost need water cooling.
